Who else is into retro gaming?

Every so often I'll play a game of Frogger or Galaga via MAME,
but I don't consider myself a retro anything. :-)

Except RPG's... Paper and Pencil ones - I still enjoy the old
TSR Top Secret game. :-)

missed having a real console. A long time ago, I had an original NES,
a Nintendo 64, and a TurboGrafX-16. For a while, a SNES as well. I
just bought a SNES on eBay.. I'm not sure what all I'll do with it,
since I can play the games with emulators, but it might be fun.

I think having an actual console would be cool. :-)

As far as I'm concerned, There is not much that is more retro than a good ole BBS Door Game! :)

On a CRT monitor. It isn't like how it used to be unless you are using the older hardware, or a very good emulation of it.

Have you seen this? NHL '94 is still pretty popular and they are constantly modding it with new rosters, graphics, etc - https://www.nhl94.com/

That is so cool! I hadn't heard of it before. I'm not surprised,
though. NHL 94 was definitely the best game in the NHL series, at least going into the 2000s, and I know I'm not alone in thinking that.

The greatest thing (to me) to happen in gaming was for ID Software to open source the DOOM engine and allow third-party levels. I'm still playing a
game I started playing almost 30 years ago, and it's bigger and better than when I started.

Maybe it's because it's the first thing I played, but I think some of the levels on DOOM are some of the best I'd played. Then again, I played a *lot* of it back then.

I agree. The ID 1 engine and its derivatives are way cool.

Lots of WADS and Megawads to have fun. The gameplay may be simplistic but it still beats many modern shooters IMO.

Don't forget to try Cyberdreams, a megawad in which you must defeat a legion of Cyberdemons on each level, armed only with a gun with no bullets. It is actually a sequence of megapuzzles. The last level has 156 cyberdemons surrounding you right from the start. So much fun with that one.

Try playing on BBSlink. You'll find a few Global War players there.

When I first got back into 'dialing in' to BBS's a few years ago, I would
hit several. One had a semi active Global War player base, but I've yet to
find a good LoRD game that's active.

Now I just hit my 'local' BBS and do messages only...

But - that being said - if someone will make something... :-)

Global War was one of my favs back in the day. Can't seem to get players here on Vertrauen either.
